- Director of Goldsmiths’ Centre for Queer History
- Dr Justin Bengry convenes the MA Queer History, the first degree of its kind in the world, and is director of Goldsmiths’ Centre for Queer History. His research investigates relationships between homosexuality and capitalism, but his work also addresses current policy surrounding the UK’s ‘gay pardons’ and he has extensive public history experience. Dr Bengry’s work with Historic England that sought to record, preserve and celebrate the places of queer history in England was featured widely in the national and international press including the Guardian and New York Times. He regularly comments in the media on issues of queer history and the history of gender and sexuality and has been a historical adviser for the National Gallery and the Queer Britain museum and for television programmes that have aired on the BBC and Channel 4.
